Statistics in the IPP

The IPP includes a data visualisation tool containing the main available indicators relevant to a country’s innovation performance. Indicators are sourced primarily from the OECD and the World Bank, as well as from other sources of comparable quality.

The tool provides the ability to customise the selection of comparator countries and time periods, to draw various types of attractive tables, charts and maps, and to export the data in a variety of formats.

How data now drive innovation (Data-Driven Innovation: Big Data for Growth and Well-Being)

This chapter highlights the key drivers of data-driven innovation (DDI), today a widespread socio-economic phenomenon. It documents the key trends leading to the adoption of data and analytics across the economy, which are related to i) data generation and collection, ii) data processing and analysis, and iii) data-driven decision making. It also shows how the confluence of these trends is leading to the "industrialisation" of knowledge creation and a paradigm shift in decision making towards decision automation. The chapter then highlights the limitations of data-driven decision making, and concludes with a discussion of the key policy implications.
